Question

I get an error message...

"List does not exist"

when I attempt to edit a new page within a publishing site.

The log file doesn't provide me with any additional details...

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

I'm using a custom master page.

Just wondering what could be causing this error...?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I'm guessing you're deploying the master page through a feature?

In your master page module Elements.xml, remember to add List="116", like the following snippet shows:

<Module Name="MasterPages" List="116" Url="_catalogs/masterpage"> 
  <File Path="MasterPages\custom_main.master" Url="custom_main.master" Type="GhostableInLibrary" /> 
</Module>

In order for the changes to be correctly applied, delete the masterpage from the master page gallery, and deploy the solution again.
